Deleted Albums

[JamieBall]

Isn't it 50 years for a modern recorded work or something ? Got to wait for that time period to pass then u can do what u want with it (I think).

Used to be this way, anyways. They might have changed it since that wee gonk moby raped Alan Lomax to bits, tho. They certainly should have.

The rule is 50 years after the DEATH of the copyright holder/composer

Deleted albums just mean it isnt in any official catalog anymore.

Dunno, my guess is they may be kinda like "THE AVENGERS" but more to do with music ?

Maybe they catch music pirates and/or people who misunderstand the 50 year ruling by using their various (tiresome) 'special abilities' and 'working as a team'.

That's my 2p's worth anyways...

My guess is that they catch music pirates through internet evidence and people being generally stupid. Also the prosecutions 'The Man' has smacked down have been, in the majority, aimed at pretty defensless individuals, look at the woman in america they sued, thats still going through the courts as well.

I know a couple of big techno artists that used samples from well known pop stars and never heard a single thing about it.

"Copyright subsists for a variety of lengths in different jurisdictions. The length of the term can depend on several factors, including the type of work (e.g. musical composition, novel), whether the work has been published or not, and whether the work was created by an individual or a corporation. In most of the world, the default length of copyright is the life of the author plus either 50 or 70 years."
